LG Exhibits Google TVs, Ultra HD & OLED TVs at CES 2013 (Updated!)

Besides its 100-inch Laser TV system, LG is also out to impress CES 2013 attendees with a few other TV and related products.

LG Google TV

LG is increasing its 2013 Google TV lineup to seven new models in five screen sizes. Two model series, GA7900 (47 to 55-inch) and GA6400 (42 to 60-inch), are announced. The former has dimming and LG’s Cinema Screen design applied for a sleek and modern look. Other headline features include an updated Home Dashboard to aid in discovery of new content, wireless connectivity, and pre-installed OnLive app for gamers. Powered by a dual-core CPU, the LG Google TV touts fast menu navigation, web browsing, and video streaming. And let’s not forget about the redesigned Magic Remote Qwerty that combines a keyboard with point-and-click control. Better yet, this updated remote supports natural language recognition, which should help tremendously when you’re searching for content. Image quality also receives a boost as the extra processing power allows the TruPicture XD Engine to work more efficiently and effectively. For 3D, the LG Google TV employs LG’s Film Patterned Retarder (FPR) technology.
